"Oh, I thought you said something." Shuichi shrugged.

"Nope, you must be hearing things."

A part of Kokichi was begging himself to leave but that part was being smothered by what his heart was telling him. He wanted to stay with Shuichi like this forever.

Where they were now.. together, gazing at the sunrise was absolutely perfect.

"I might go."

Kokichi's thoughts were interrupted by a voice coming from the navy-haired boy who was standing next to him. His mind went into overdrive. He didn't want this moment to end.. it hadn't lasted long enough!

No. He couldn't let it end. "Wait! Don't go!" Kokichi cringed at how desperate his voice sounded. Shuichi turned back to look at the purple-haired liar with a slightly curious but alarmed facial expression spread across his face. "Do you want me to stay?"

Kokichi tried his best not to let his true feelings show so instead, he displayed his usual 'blank face' expression. "I don't care."

Shuichi took a deep sigh, "That's a lie, isn't it Kokichi?"

Kokichi sensed the annoyance in Shuichi's tone. It was like it physically pained him to say the words, 'lie'.. it was like he was sick of lies for some reason.

Kokichi noticed that the way Shuichi had said "That's a lie, isn't it Kokichi?" was almost like he had said it before..

Shuichi noticed that Kokichi hadn't replied so he decided to walk away from him. Kokichi snapped out of his thoughts and when he turned to search for Shuichi, he wasn't standing next to him anymore. He spun around to see Shuichi just to go out of view. "Wait! Shuichi!"

At the sound of his name, the detective stopped and looked back at the liar.

"It was a lie. You're actually.. not boring." Kokichi explained, crossing his arms "same time tommorow? I'll be at your door."

Shuichi took a moment to think. He knew he probably wouldn't be able sleep anyway.. so why not? "Same time tommorow."

Before Kokichi had a chance to shout a witty comeback, the navy-haired boy was gone.

Shuichi had made his way back into his room and had made sure that his door was locked. He was lying on his bed thinking through what had just happened. "I'm.. not boring? That's a complement coming from him isn't it?"

It was weird. In the last game, Shuichi felt unnerved by Kokichi but this time.. they were almost friends... Almost.

No. He couldn't concentrate on that. He had to solely focus on preventing the murders. That was the only thing he could concern himself with.

If he focused on something or someone else.. someone would die.

This was the day of the motive videos.

Shuichi woke up to find a motive video next to his bed. Everything had worked out perfectly.. he hoped at least.

He touched the video and it started playing. 'Kokichi Ouma's motive video'.

It was exactly the same as the one he saw last time.. after Kokichi was dead.

Shuichi laid down the video and took a relieved sigh. He fell back onto his bed and looked up at his ceiling.

Something caught his eye. A surveillance camera.. "Oh.. crap.. I thought I got rid of all the cameras.."
